It does prove that Spurs fairly routinely (like 2 a year for the past 4 approximately) have games where they don't have many shots on target. Its you who's coming up with a standard that 7 in 4 years is not that many. Thats an arbitrary standard that one may or may not consider good enough. So it shows the other poster that yes Spurs do have games where they have few shots as opposed to what he thought and hence based his support for Poch over Ole on.

Well, I can only comment of the example provided. so based on that example which is 7 games in 4 years, to me that suggests spurs have few games where they have less shots on target. You might consider 7 games in 4+ years to be a lot of games but to me, thats not enough to suggest anything other than spurs have few games where they have less shots on target, of course you or anyone might have different opinion on that. As I said before I can only comment on example provided whether there are more games than that, I don't know and i don't care since i am not commenting on whats not there.

Once again I don't care about Ole vs Poch, not getting into that rubbish since I support United not any manager. Not into Cults.

Not sure where you are going with this as I already said that's not all games, that's just random games I checked.

Spurs had 2 shots or less 2 times in 2 months (Vs Watford and vs ManCity), is that good enough games in 2 months? (as 7 games in 4 years is silly).

Since Ole took over, ManUtd had only 1 shot on target vs PSG and apart from that the lowest number of shots on target was vs Liverpool which was 3. So going by this,

2018-19 season

Watford (H) - Shots on target - 3 (1 of them was from outside the box)
Chelsea (A) - Shots on target - 1 (from penalty, 0 from open play)
Wolves (H) - Shots on target - 3 (all 3 from outside the box)
Arsenal (A) - Shots on target - 3 (1 from outside the box)
Burnley (H) - Shots on target - 3
Leicester (A) -Shots on target - 3 (2 from outside the box)
Palace (A) -Shots on target - 2 (1 from outside the box)
City (H) - Shots on target - 1
West Ham (A) - Shots on target - 2
Liverpool (H) - Shots on target - 3 (1 from outside the box)
Watford (A) - Shots on target - 2 (2 shots from outside the box)

So many games where they barely had shots on targets and few of them are just long shots.

To me (to you or anyone else it might not be) 7 games in 4+ years is silly to prove your point as I am sure you could have picked number of games from this season or last and I only commented on what you posted on your original post not what you didn't. Whether there were more games or not Is not my concern since i am not arguing about whether poch's team have less or more shots but just commented on your original example you provided (which to me suggested there were not enough games where they had less shots on target, your original post), which to me was silly and don't really care whether you're right or wrong but just wanted to point out the example you provided was not enough and now you're adding more games (if you did originally, i wouldn't have commented). you seem to be turning this into poch vs ole, it's not.

You seem to be part of this sad mentality of our fans where it's Poch vs Ole with every post and don't look at whats being posted by another since you already have a agenda. I have no time for that rubbish, so once again this isn't poch vs ole but on your example you provided.

I hope you read the bold part and not just make this poch vs Ole :rolleyes::rolleyes: for the sake of it.

Eh? I'm a big fan of Poch and my posts in the past are the proof for that.

Just because I point out mistakes in someone else's post doesn't mean I'm part of this Poch vs Ole. I want Ole to be given the job and won't mind if we appoint Poch as he is superb coach.

Re the post, man you repeat the same thing again and again, it's just tedious. I said few times already, those are just random examples, not exact numbers. it's not my fault if you though Spurs had only 7 games in 4 years where they were poor attacking.

you should just climb down from the high horse and read posts before jumping into discussion.

My post wasn't about Ole vs Poch, it's in your head that it was. It's to show the stick to beat Ole can be used to beat Poch also. The guy who made the first post conceded the point, not sure what your problem is.
 
Having changed my vote to Ole, it's worth considering the downside of appointing him.

For me, he's playing football the United way. My only fear is that it might be an outmoded tactic. The previous two managers failed because they tried to change tactics and couldn't make it work. Ole is largely working because he's gone back to SAF basics. But the two outstanding teams in the league play with a high press. Are we really likely to do better than them over the course of a season with a counter-attacking formation. Or is it the kind of strategy that will give us top four but not silverware?

I think we need to add another level of tactical sophistication to our play. Not sure who in the current coaching team has that kind of bandwidth.
 
In a strange way watching us grind out wins in difficult circumstances like this does more for my confidence in Ole than the heavy wins.
 
That was a big big win. Palace away with all the injuries. He can do no wrong.
This is like winning the lotto, amazing how he has turned things around
 
Just another London team sinked by Gunnar the Destroyer.

If he can fix Lukaku, he can be hell of a manager. After final whistle you can look on Carrick's face how he loves working with the new guy in charge.
 
8 consecutive away wins in all competitions. A new club record. Ole's at the wheel!

A 9th would be nice. A 3-1 win. Not asking for much. :angel:
 


It really has felt like United again under Ole, you can really feel the love from the fans and players and staff now. It all feels so...United again after the way things had gotten so fractured and polarized under the previous regime

I truly can't see how he doesn't get the job in the summer
 
Was very skeptical when he took over, didn't think he would do well. Really glad I've been proven wrong. It would be an absolute travesty if he didn't get the job at this point.
 
Just out of curiosity -are there any United-fans who genuinely would prefer Pochettino as United-manager to Ole ?

I am convinced he already got it - just not officially!

I repeat the same point because you don't read or just ignore. But its ok, it happens. I only brought Ole vs poch due to you bringing it in your comment when you posted those additional games, so I doubt its only in my head since you're the one who brought Ole up in your post.:lol::lol::lol:
 


Anyone could have done it they said... :lol:
 
He should be the manager now. Apart from the PSG game, no mistakes in his tactical decisions. Give him the money to spend this summer and we will be at the top again.

Awful post.
 
It's a shame we were so far off when he took over.

He just gets it, and it's as simple as that. If he doesn't get the job, its criminal.
 
My 1000th post says, how can anyone possibly say that he doesn’t deserve at least 2 years?
He’s the messiah!
 
Grinding out a result like that with a team that has barely kicked a ball together as a unit shows his experience. Found a different way to win in a game where this could have easily ended up going the other direction. Fair play to him. I don't think there is much else he could do to prove he is the right person for the job.
 
Showed tactical awareness by pushing Young up the right flank while bringing in Bailly.
 
Really doesn’t seem to be able to do wrong at the moment.
 
we wanted to see him tested and now he's being tested with this injury crisis, and he's dealt with it brilliantly

today was way more comfortable that a full strength Mourinho team would've managed
